DVDs rule my life? No! Really. You must be talking about that other person over there.
You know what more DVDs need? *
A historical subtitle track like the one on Kingdom of Heaven. It went through the movie telling you the actual history of the Second Crusade and which bits of the movie were based on fact and which they'd fictionalised. That's always what I want to know after watching a movie set in a historical period I don't know a lot about! (That's not that crazy, right?) I loved it Not that I wouldn't have gone to a book and looked it up myself, but it's still a great idea. I was geekily enthralled and impressed by how much was actually based on fact. I mean, it certainly wasn't perfect but I honestly expected worse.
It's not quite as good as I remember but the ending is well done and I still have enormous amounts of love for Jeremy Irons and his voice.
* obviously if they're historically based movies. An historical track on something like X-Men 2 would be somewhat out of place really. However, a track that related it to the comicverse might, but that would just get way too confusing. 'So then there was this time that he died ... except here when he came back ... but only if you don't consider this, which isn't considered main continuity anyway.'

Then I went for a walk (to return the KoH DVD) and ended up with the 4th season of 'Blackadder' from the video store. (As well as an ex-rental copy of Closer for $10!)
So good, so hilarious and that last episode still gets me. *sniff*
Hugh Laurie just cracks me up and also reminded me why I still find it amusing to think about the legions of people that think he's so hot. I mean, don't get me wrong I see the appeal with the stubble and the eyes and no doubt he's a fantastic actor, but you see him in things like Blackadder - which is the stuff I grew up seeing him in - and it just amuses me to think of what he is now with his legions of fangirls. Of which, in all fairness, I am one. :p

I don't have work till Friday. My one and only shift of the week. Most of me is happy but there's also a part of me that knows that I'm going to be spending at least one day this week whining to myself about how I'm not actually doing anything productive.
